What Do you do with Broken Easter Eggs?

Make them into grass head eggs, of course! We had a few eggs that cracked when I was blowing out the egg contents. I cracked the tops off and we colored them anyway. We added some soil and some grass seed. We had some "face" stickers that came with a egg decorating kit, that Alex used to created some faces on the eggs. We watered them and put them by the window. In a couple of days the grass began to sprout.

Six days later they now have long "hair." We gave one a haircut and another got a trim and ponytails. Alex really enjoys watering them, checking them each morning to see how long their hair is.

Decorating Easter Eggs

This should be our last Easter post. Boy we were busy creating this Easter, I think because Easter was so late. Anyway here are our Easter Eggs. Alex really enjoyed the whole process and they came out so cute!


We read a cute little book in the morning, Ollie's Easter Eggs by Olivier Dunrea.

This is part of Dunrea's Gossie and friends series.  It is about a group of goslings on a farm. The older goslings are all busy dying and hiding Easter eggs. Ollie is too busy playing. When he see the eggs, Ollie wants Easter eggs too and he has a plan on how he'll get them. When they hide their eggs, Ollie finds them and stashes them away in his nest. He unknowingly created a Easter egg hunt for the older goslings. The illustrations are very cute. We enjoyed the book a lot.  


So here is our eggs. We used a simple Dollar Tree egg dying kit and some egg decorating stickers from Target. 

Yes, the ones in back are meant to be have holes on top, they are for tomorrow's project.

Adding glitter, his favorite part.

Hope everyone has a happy and fun Easter!
